Looksmenu face presets do not look like what they are supposed to look like.

[Nisse]

Alright i need help please! Yesterday i spent 3 hours straight trying to get a face preset i really wanted to work. But guess what? Doesent work.

YES i have downloaded every required mod i need.
YES i have checked the requirments for those other mods too.
YES i have controled my mod list to make sure nothing conflicts.
NO i dont use high resolution dlc.

And its not just this one, No
Its every single preset i download!

Here is the link to the mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/30878
WARNING, The mod also comes with a outfit studio body file and is not safe for work.

Thanks in advance!

Yes it´s a frequent problem.
The face never looks like it supposed to look on the nexusmod picutres. Usually it´s worse :S

Even tho you installed exactlx all necessary additionnal mods, you never get the same result.

Just make your own characters, it´s better and more fun.

The looksmenu preset feature aint a really stable feature. You're not the first one that is experiencing problems with it. It depends of various factors such as

• are dependent mods installed correctly?
  
• is the mod itself installed correctly (eg NMM is not so good with loose files)
  
• did the mod author bundled and uploaded the preset accordingly
  
• loading the game with correct versions for both looksmenu and F4SE
  
• having different meshes for head/body
  
• having different textures for head/body
  
• having mods that influences the face, such as eyes mods ...
  
• ...

Presets are broken.

Heck, even my own presets don't wortk correctly. They always have black lipstick applied even though I never added that.

It's not that the presets are broken. they work just fine as long as you have the EXACT same mods as the author who created it, and I'm NOT just talking about the listed requirements.

OTHER mods you may have installed that affect eyes, lips, makeup, hair color, ENB, etc etc etc, can and will affect the final results. It's pretty much unavoidable since what your character ends up looking like is not only affected by the author's installed mods but also your own.

I downloaded this preset myself and yes, it looks nothing like the pictures on the mod page. For this reason, I always treat LooksMenu presets as a starting point rather than a finished product, something that provides a base for tweaking until I'm happy with the final results.

The body preset works right "out of the box" but you'll have to do some adjustments to the face on your own. That's just the way it is my friend.
